How to Convert PDF to Excel
Upload Your PDF
Drag & drop or click to select your PDF. No account required — works in any modern browser on desktop or mobile.
Data Is Extracted Automatically
PDF.js reads each page and extracts text items. Items are grouped into rows by Y position and sorted into columns by X position.
Download Your XLSX
Your Excel file downloads automatically. Each PDF page is a separate sheet tab. Open it in Excel, Google Sheets, or LibreOffice Calc.
Why Convert PDF to Excel?
Many reports, invoices, financial statements, and data exports are distributed as PDFs. Converting them to Excel lets you sort, filter, chart, and analyse the data with formulas and pivot tables — things that are impossible in a static PDF.
Unlike cloud converters, this tool runs entirely in your browser. Sensitive financial and business data never leaves your device.
Best Practices for Good Results
- Text-based PDFs
- Works best on PDFs with selectable text — reports, invoices, data exports.
- Structured tables
- Column alignment is detected from X coordinates. Clean column spacing gives the best results.
- One page per sheet
- Each PDF page becomes a separate worksheet tab for easy navigation.
- Scanned PDFs
- Not supported — scanned image PDFs produce empty sheets. Use an OCR tool first.
- Multi-column layouts
- Complex multi-column layouts may need manual column cleanup after conversion.
- Numbers & dates
- Extracted as plain text — format cells in Excel as needed after conversion.
Common Use Cases
- Financial statements
- Extract revenue, cost, and margin figures from PDF annual reports into a spreadsheet for analysis.
- Invoice processing
- Pull line items and totals from PDF invoices into Excel for accounting or reconciliation.
- Survey results
- Convert tabular survey data exported as a PDF into a spreadsheet for pivot tables and charts.
- Price lists
- Extract product names and prices from a supplier PDF catalogue into a workable spreadsheet.
- Research data
- Bring numerical tables from academic PDFs into Excel to run your own statistical analysis.
- Inventory exports
- Turn PDF inventory or stock reports into editable spreadsheets for sorting and filtering.
